I'll take my teleportation without serialization, thank you.
I am ridiculously unqualified to comment on this topic, but the article seemed to start out on the wrong hypothesis from the beginning. It seems to me that if teleportation is going to work, it has to be an actual transfer of matter. I can't foresee us ever understanding the "state" of a human being enough to serialize it to "information" and convert it back.
It seems far more likely that we'll discover a means of moving matter than we will of de/rematerializing.
